Serving All Learners

University College is not just geared toward one type of student. We are organized to serve all learners, whether they are teenagers or young adults trying to get ahead or catch up, adult students looking to complete or start degrees, or are individuals looking for job training or professional development for themselves or their employees. We meet students where they are and work with them to overcome whatever barriers they face.
